Unity Connection 8.x suppported servers?

[Nirmal Joshi]

Hi,

Is unity connection 8.X still orderable and is it supported (TAC supported) on Cisco MCS7825-I5-IPC1 as I do not see this in the Unity Connection supported platfrom list?

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/8x/supported_platforms/8xcucspl.html#wp761830

The listed servers MCS7825I5-K9-UCC2 and UCC3 in the above doc are end of sale and the replacement for this is MCS7825I5-K9-IPC1, which is supported with connection 9.X but there is no clarity if we can use the same server for Unity Connection 8.x as well.

Please help.

Regards,

Hi Nirmal,

Unity Connection 8 got end of sale on Jan. 30,2012 and last date of application SW support is Jan. 31,2015

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/voicesw/ps6789/ps5745/ps6509/end_of_life_notice_c51-681593.html

I can see that MCS 7825I5 K9-UCC2 has been end of sale which was supporting UCxN 8.5 and replacement part number is MCS 7825I5-IPC1 which means Unity would work on this server.

Hi Aman,

Thanks for looking into this.

I believe you are talking about Cisco Unity 8.0 not unity connection in the first link which you provided.

I am more interested in Unity connection, I see that Unity connection 8.0 is eos but I guess unity connection 8.6 is still orderable.

So again my question remains, is unity connection 8.6 supported by Cisco TAC on MCS-7825-I5-IPC1 server which is not listed in supported platform list for Unity connection 8.X

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/8x/supported_platforms/8xcucspl.html#wp761830

Has anyone installed UC 8.6 on MCS-7825-I5-IPC1? If yes then I believe the SKU for ordering the same would still be UNITYCN8-K9?

Hi Nirmal,

Sorry .By mistake I provided the wrong URL.

Since EOS for UCxN 8.6 is not available, this means it is still orderable.

What I suggest if u have the MCS7825-I5-IPC1 server with you , please try installing 8.6 since  replacement Part number for MCS 7825I5K9 UCC2 is MCS 7825I5-IPC1 with version 8.5

Aman,

No I do not have that server, I am working on a solution for one my clients. so I want to be sure before ordering the server and licenses.

I need to be 100 % sure on this.

Hi Nirmal,

I have checked the DRAM,HDD and Processor for both server models  and found to be same .

Since the solution needs to be sold out, it is better u involve Cisco SE and conclude it .

I guess I will have to wait for Partner Helpline response to my ticket with them.

Can someone from Cisco look into this and help?

Hi

i found that link i checked that MCS7816I5-K9-CMD2 was for your cisco unity connection. i hope to take with my advise , if this a new installation , i recommend to use ucs C220 it is a new technology from cisco and you will find many help and support for tac , and you will build and divide your server as you need (VMware based).

thank you

please rate if this will help

Kamal,

I don't think UCS server for one Unity connection application is a good idea when MCs servers are still selling.

Moreover UCS are expensive as compared to MCS.
